Nazi and East German Propaganda. Read this material. Could it happen again? We're no more intelligent now, as people, as individuals, than the people 50 years ago or 5000. Look at Hitler. Who was he? Try and see past the iconic features, the second-degree connections. See a man. That terrifies me. That Hitler was just a person, and that everyone else was a people too. Should we ever let ourselves to believe in something that strongly? How do we decide what has 'meaning'? Meaning can't be objective, so how can we be sure that what we believe isn't wrong? On a deckchair, in a field, with a dog, Hitler sits.
